Did you write that yourself? :-) Yes, I wrote it myself. I didn't get to cover ACPI or anything, though. Took me about 10 minutes, total (I always "hear" alternate versions of all songs anyway. 8-)). I didn't mention that it was a Billy Joel, because anyone who hadn't heard the Billy Joel wouldn't find it funny, I think; they'd just look at me like I was insane.... uh, *more* insane... -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
